Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1887-10-27

The figures for 1887 are the result of
the state census which was completed
the first of March of the present year,
80 that it is no doubt falling below the
mark to put her population to day at
1900. 900. We believe the history of
the world will be searched in vain for a
parallel to this marvellous growth of a
nation or commonwealth in the brief
period of a quarter of century.
But why shouldn't Kansas grow?
Why shouldn the choicest pick of the
population of the older states, both ma
tive and foreign born, seek homes and
fortunes IN this great garden of the
West. Her soil is unsurpassed in fer
tility by any on the continent. Sit
uated in the heart of the United States
she has commands of the markets in
every direction for the disposal of her
products. On the central highway be-
tween the two oceans her means of
communication with all parts of the re
public are rapid and complete. Her
internal system Of railways promises al
most literally to bring train of cars
to every mans door. In 1856 there

MORE EVICTIONS.

Another case of eviction, or threat
ened eviction of settlers, in case they do
not remove, from lands held by English
claimants, has just occurred in the I'm
tied States, this time in the Panhandle
country Of Texas. 1t seems that the
English capitalists purchased large
track of land in the section named. and
in enclosing the purchase they also en-
close large bodies Of school land in al
tcrnate sections. Upon these school
lands a number of settlers have taken
homes and made considerable improve
ments. These lands being enclosed
with the lands purchased by the for
eigners, the state, acting under laws
covering such cases, demanded rent for
the use of the school lands, and as
the settlers arc paying nothing for their
use, They were ordered off by the Eng
lishmen. The trouble in this case seems
to have originated IN the foreigners be-
ing permitted to enclose the school
land with that they purchased, if not
in allowing them to make purchases of
land at all. The state, it seems could
only demand rent for the school land
from those maintaining the enclosure
of same which in this case is done by the
aliens; but they having no claim upon
the land gives them no legal or moral
right to eject settlers from them, nor
even to demand any compensation for
their use. It was simply matter of
economy on the part of the English
purchasers to enclose the entire body
under one fence rather than each alter
nate section; but the simple building
of the fence gives them no legal right
to or control of the land. notwithstand-
4
ing it makes them amenable to the state
for rents on states enclosed lands.
The settlers have appealed to the Gov
ernor of the state for protection. The
case is peculiar one, and the result,
while there can be but little doubt what
it will be, will be watched with interest.
1t Is disssmilar to the one that occurred
few days ago in Iowa, in shat the for
eigners in the Texas case seem to have
been impelled to their action as mat
ter of self defence in some measure by
the action of the state, which. in turn
was acting under the law; while in the
Iowa case it was simply an act Of usur-
patton, without warrant of law or other
prompting than selfish interest Wich-

Scenes at Bellevue Hospital.

On the lowest floor Of all, behind
heavy iron doors, are kept patients suf-
fering from alcoholic manias. 1t
scarcely need be said that these apart
ments do not suffer for tenants. Some
times, indeed, they are crowded uu-
comfortably with a lot of filthy, howl
ing incurables, who, sunk lower than
beasts, seem scarcely worth mlnding
about. One of them, somewhat recov-
cred from the worst stage, was still
dazed and occupied with phantoms and
vampires. You could shake your fist
in his face, but he wouldn't have seen
you. Now and then he put out his
hand as if to ward off some stealthily
approaching foe. He wheeled around
quickly and shrunk back in fright. He
held his hands before his face and every
nerve in his body shook violently. The
doctor took his hand:
"What do you see, John, he asked?
"Green devils IN the water and |
can swim a stroke, was the dispar
ing answer. The variety of their hor-
rid visions is amazing. One of them
thought himself in spider 5 web and
''more' million spiders, haery, long
and vicious, were weaving their skeins
around him. The attention OF a third
whose violence when brought in had
been overcome only by the brute
strength of dozen orderlies, was now
engaged rolling off the roofs Of houses
one reared above the other far into the
clouds, while a hundred bats chased
him in his tumbles. Every minute or
two he bounced heavily on his bed and
groaned fearfully. He had just struck
| another roof.-New York Tribune.

The New Jersey Liquor Pro-
gramme.

The Liquor-Dealers' Protective
League of New Jersey, In its recent
State Convention at Newark, defined
its political purposes in the following
words:
1T is the duty of every member of
this league, likewise of every man en-
gagged in our business, to rally as one
man and do everything in our power
that is lnwful to secure the nomination
and election of only such persons to
the State Legislature, and to all other
elective Offices, as are in sympathy
with us in our demands to secure such
changes in the laws as will at least do
justice to the saloon keeper, even
though he be publican and sinner, and
that will not treat him as he is now
treated, as an enemy of society, to be
put on par with the thief, the burg
lar, the brutal ravishcr and the vile
murderer. On the other hand, we de-
clare it to be the duty of this League,
and of all engaged in our business to
strike down with heavy hand, in the
primary meeting, and at the polls, ev-
cry candidate for Office, local, county,
state and national, who is not ready to
pledge himself to aid US in our just de.
mands.

Judging from the recent disaster, they
have queer way of investigating rail
road accidents in Indiana The coroner
goes to work in his own way, without the
assistance of jury, gets information
mainly from railroad sources, and then
makes up his mind and renders verdict
that can not be expected to bear very
hard on the roads or their officials. 1t
takes more moral stamana than the av-
erage HOOsier coroner possesses to resist
powerful railroad influences which may
reflect him, and condemn the corpora
tons and place the responsibility for the
accident where it rightfully belongs. in
stead of upon fog, or dark night, or

Well cross the praries as of old
Our fathers crossed the sea.
And make the West, as they the East,
The homestead of the free.
So sang the Quaker bard more than
thirty years ago, referring to the strus-
gle then going on between the friends
of freedom and the minions OF slavery
for the new and beautiful land of Kan
sas. Solemnly guaranteed to freedom
by the Missouri compromise, the fraud
ulent slave power had recently broken
down the guaranty and had invited the
whitening curse of bondage to go over
and make the fair domain of Kansas a
land of Shareholders and Of slaves. But
the sentiment of Whittier inspired
hymn thrilled through thousands OF
Northern hearts, and from the hills of
New England, the valleys OF New
York, the coal fields of Pennsylvania
and the broad plains of Ohio poured
fourth bands of stalwart men, with
their wives and children, determined at
all hazards to turn back the black
tide of slavery and save Kansas to free
labor forever Through toll and hard
shin and strife and border ruflianism
and arson and murder they struggled
on, testing
the truth of God
Against the fraud of men.
until at last "a glorious victory crowned
their sacrifices and Kansas came into
the Union free state.
Ohio has special interest in Kan
sas, in her growth, prosperity, develop
ment and history; for there is not
village or city throughout her borders,
perhaps, that does not number amongst
its inhabitants some of the sous and
daughters of Ohio; Ohio enterprise,
Ohio industry and Ohio capital have
helped in nigh degree to make the
prairies bloom and blossom; and, in its
earliest stages of growth, the tree of
freedom which has since grown to such
magnificent proportions, was watered
by Ohio blood. Hence no apology is
necessary for the deep interest taken
by the people of Ohio in the welfare
of Kansas, and with thousands of our
citizens the wonderful "Pralrie en-
pire" is theme of which they never
tire. Nevertheless the full extent of
the greatness Of Kansas, Of her present
prosperity. of her boundless resources
and of her unparalleled prospects, are
known to but few and fairly apprecia-
ted by fewer still. The truth is it
would require volume to set them
forth in all their significance, and only
point or two can be indicated within
the limits OF newspaper article.
In her physical dimensions the state
OF Kansas excels many of her elder
sisters. In form sheis parallelogram,
400 miles long and 200 wide, being
nearly as large as the whole island of
Great Critian and twice the size of our
own Ohio. If the population of Kan
sas in 1868, only twenty-five years ago,
had been equally distributed over the
state there would have been but about
one person to every square mile.
To-day there would be twenty. Stats
tical tables are usually dry enough but
at times even small table has within
it the elements of wonder and romance
and reads like tale from the Arabian
Nights. Look at this, for instance,
showing the population of Kansas since
its admission into the Union.

in the Ryan murder trial was made

lily made, on misconduct Of the jury,
which was easily overcome by the
attorneys for the state. In passing
sentence the Judge stated that it was
necessary for him to lay aside human
sympa,hics and act in his capacity
as an officer in the administration of
justice. OF the scene in the court
room we clip the following from
the Telegraph:
Peter Ryan sat immovable in his seat,
appearing as indifferent as during the en-.
tire progress OF the trial. except that his
eyes we're east down, Whatever emotion
he betrayed, and 1t was exceedingly slight,
was caused more by his sisters manifesto
tons of grief than from any apparent
anxiety as to his own fate. Sarah Ryan,
who has sat by her brothers side during
the entire trial, was deeply affected and
sobbed as II her heart would break. Mrs.
Thos Boland wept bitterly, but silently.
Mr., Boland, whose devotion to his erring
brother.in.law has been such as poets have
sung about, was plainly affected, but re.
trained with manly heroism from making
his grief public, lie certainly possesses
the stuff of which heroes arc made The
attorneys for the defendant, who have done
all that shrewd, experienced lawyers could
DO Tor their client, schooled as they were
In witnessing such scenes, seemed hardly
less affected by the receipt OF the verdict
than did Mr., Boland.

indifferent person in that crowded court
